How to make Nigiri Sushi (pictures)

1. Peel prawns.

2. Stick prawns onto the scewers. That way they do not shrink during cooking.

3. Bring water and a little bit of salt to boil and add prawn scewers. Let boil for one minute.

4. Combine rice vinegar and sugar.

5. Take scewers out of the water and sprinkle with the vinegar and sugar mixture. Let sit for two minutes.

6. Take prawns of the scewer and cut prawns in the middle and remove the gut. Then unfold the prawn like a butterfly.

7. Spread a little bit wasabi paste onto the inside of the prawn and put it onto the rice ball.

6. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi paste and pickled ginger
